GLOVE AND GLOVE-FASTENING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 351,724, dated October26, 1886.

. l pplicatlon filed Julie 1.), 1886. Serial No. 205.2l6. (No model.)

To aZl whom, it 171.041 concern.-

Be it known that I, HENRY URWIOK, a subject of the Queen of GreatBritain, residing at St. Dunstans, Malvern, in the county of Wor-'cester, England, glove manufacturer, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Gloves, of which the following is aspecification. I

The object of the invention is to enable the wearer of a glove totighten up the glove around his wrist to any extent he may desire.

The glove I form without any front slit at the wrist, but make the gloveat the wrist of sufficient width to allow it to be drawn freely onto thehand. To one side of the glove, at the wrist, I secure one end of aband. This band I lead across the front of the glove and pass it througha metallic eye secured to the opposite side of the glove, and then leadthe hand back and secure it to a slide which can be drawn freely to orfro along the first-mentioned portion of the band which passes acrossthe glove, if it be itself drawn directly either in the one direction orthe other, but which yet will .not shift its position along the band forany strain which may come upon it through the band itself, so that inthis way, by drawing the slide either in one direction or the other, theband can be tightened up across the wrist to any extent desired, or canbe slackened when the glove is to be taken off.

The drawings annexed show a glove formed in the above manner. a

Figure 1 is a face view 01 the glove. Fig. 2 is a cross section takenthrough the line 1 1, Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 a face view of the metallicslide which I prefer to use.

A is the adj usting band secured at one end, A, to one side of thenon-elastic undivided wrist of the glove. I

B is the metallic loop secured to the opposite side of the wrist.

O is the metallic slide by which the band is adjusted, to vary thedistance between opposite sides of the wrist. It is formed of a metallicplate having oblong parallel slots cut in it, leaving a number ofparallel. bars. The band A is led over thecentralbar, 0, and under theothers. It ,is then led through the loop B and back again to the slide0, and is secured at its end to the central bar, 0.

D D are tabs secured to the end bars, 0, of the slide. The tabs are usedfor drawing the slide to and fro, either in one direction or the other,as desired.

I do not claim the slide per se, nor the combination of the slide andthe adjusting-band, as these are'old; neither do I restrict myselt tothe use of the particular form of slide shown in the drawings, as slidesof other form might be employed to eti'ect the same object.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my saidinvention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declarethat what I claim is- 1. The glove having the noirelastic undividedwrist and provided with the adjustingband connecting the opposite sidesof the wrist, and the slide by which to adjust the band to vary thedistance between the opposite sides of the wrist, substantially as andfor the purpose set forth.

2. The combination, with the glove having the non-elastic undividedwrist, of theadj usting-band secured at one end to one side of theWrist, the loop or eye secured to the opposite side of the wrist, andthrough which the band passes, the adjusting-slide through which theband passes in crossing the wrist to the loop or eye and to which oneend of the band is secured, and the tabs'secured to the slide,substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

HENRY URWIOK.
